Marc M
Expert English tutor
Hi there!
My name is Marc and I am 35 years old. I live in Edinburgh and work in the publishing and intellectual property rights industry.
I completed my Higher English back in 2008 and have since studied and used the subject extensively, through school, university and the workplace, briefly working as a journalist several years ago.
I understand how much of a difference some extra time and help spent on a subject outside of a classroom can make, having used a private tutor while at school to make sure I got the Maths grades I needed.
Sometimes, a new concept or an idea is explained...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Mearns Castle High. Can a tutor help them stand out in such a competitive class?
Yes, absolutely. In a high-achieving environment, a tutor provides the dedicated, one-to-one focus needed to hone specific skills. They can help your child refine their work to the standard required to move from a B to an A, giving them an edge in a competitive cohort.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the Higher English grade needed?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the top grades required by leading Scottish universities. They can focus on the specific demands of the Higher English curriculum and exam to strengthen your child's application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check reviews from other parents, and watch introductory videos. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence in English?
A one-to-one lesson provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without any classroom pressure. When they start to understand difficult concepts and see their work improve, their confidence naturally grows.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents, making it feel just like you're in the same room. It's a simple and effective way to learn.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academics like English and Maths, your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many parents find a regular weekly lesson is most effective for steady progress, especially when preparing for exams like the Highers, but you can schedule lessons as often as you like.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. Most importantly, you'll see it in their growing confidence, their improved understanding in class, and the quality of their schoolwork and results.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no complex software to install.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
